What do you mean I'm only human?

I know we're all going to die eventually, but I feel I might expire sooner than anticipated. Being out in the cold and wet yesterday was not good for my embarrassingly fragile body. My quads are stiff and painful, and my lungs feel like they're breathing in acid, not air. Add in an achey throat and sinus pressure on the right side. I have to make an appearance at a friend's cocktail party/acoustic gig tonight, but I think I won't stay for long. I want to bolster myself for this final weekend of faire.

Final weekend. I'm not sure how to feel about that. On the plus side, I will have weekends available for seeing non-faire friends again as well as other domestic goddess-ness. I can't remember the last time I actually cooked a meal. Shameful. On the minus side, I fear the season's end will be the mental equivalent of having a rug yanked out from under my feet. Falling into this group of people was such a blessing. Instant support structure: Just add costume.

Speaking of support, I would appreciate any assistance with moving to my new place. In the next several days I can cart boxes over, but I'm going to need help with the few pieces of large furniture. I'm shooting for a Big Moving Day on Sunday, October 24. I will be moving smaller stuff over on Saturday as well, but I know Sellout is playing Friday and I believe someone is having a party Saturday evening, so I don't expect a ton of volunteers for Saturday. Please email to let me know if you can assist on Sunday, and/or Saturday if you're so inclined. Thank you kindly.

I had more to say, but my brain is jumbled and incoherent. I'm undergoing some bizarre and unsettling mood swings lately. I think they're caused by a combination of several things, not the least of which is the seasonal change into winter that always affects me poorly. Le sigh! I want Indian food.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, when I went out for Chinese food last night with rougewench, gamera_spinning, breaca, and femfataleatron I got this fortune: "People find it difficult to resist your persuasive manner." Hmmm.

Creepily accurate is my Free Will Astrology horoscope for this week:
The seventeenth-century Pilgrims were religious dissidents at odds with the Church of England. Persecuted for their beliefs, some set sail for the New World in the Mayflower, seeking a sanctuary to practice their spiritual principles in peace. They sighted land after 66 days. A few of them wanted to cruise south along the coast to Virginia, where the English Crown had promised them a grant of land. But the majority overruled them in order to address the most pressing problem: They had run out of beer. And that's why the Pilgrims ended up settling on the first place they saw, the cold, rocky shore of what's now Massachusetts. Upon landing, they immediately built a brewery. This vignette is an apt metaphor for your near future, Aquarius. You, too, will be driven by idealism to seek a haven where you can more purely be yourself, but you will ultimately respond to pragmatic concerns as well.

Oh! Almost forgot (ferret brain). I had a realization yesterday at the JR's all request show. My mother would love this music. Like me, she's an alto, and she loves music that gives her fun harmony lines to sing. So thanks to the Jolly Rogers for helping me check one question mark off my xmas list. I just need to remember to grab the CDs next weekend...someone please remind the Ferret Brain that I need to do that, 'k?

SECOND EDIT: Crap. See what I mean? Complete ferret today. Congratulations to breaca for getting her name this weekend!!!! Hugs hugs hugs!!!
